It is time to explore transformative ways of educating lighting issues for the hospitality industry with a pilot of lighting in sustainable hotel room to engage industry practitioners, management and graduates in the hospitality discipline for enhancing IMM and UNPRI framework measurements. This paper is to explore the concepts and expected skills development of the GEEP (Green Entrepreneurial Education Project) - an action-based experiential approach for talent development and case study with Hotels in Beijing, China on lighting design. The feasible actionable steps aligned with the SDGs, particularly SDG3 (Wellness), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 Innovations, and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
